Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a lamp structure with a
signal transmission alert, and more particularly to a lamp
structure wherein a drifting effect can be created to floating
objects or other dynamic devices with changeable colors in a sealed
transparent container along with a transmission of computer
data.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] As the popularity of a personal computer in nowadays, all
kinds of computer periphery products with sound and light effects,
such as loudspeakers of all kinds of appearances, and computers
which can generate light of different colors, were constantly
developed to match a life habit of pursuing excitement and new
stuffs. All these products can be used to increase the interest in
using a personal computer by a consumer.
[0005] However, the aforementioned appearances or light effects
only monotonically continue without any change, which is extremely
easy to enable a consumer to lose interest. Therefore, how to
increase interest in application for a consumer with a light
vibration or sparkling with more variation and interest has become
an issue to be solved by related industries.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
lamp structure with a signal transmission alert, which comprises
primarily a transparent shade in which filled a liquid. And a
plurality of transparent and reflective floating objects or other
dynamic devices with changeable colors is dispersed in the liquid.
A lamp seat containing a light and heat source, which is connected
with a personal computer via a signal line, is combined with the
transparent shade. The light and heat source is driven by the
personal computer to generate a heat, which creates a convection
effect to the liquid in the transparent shade along with a
transmission of computer data. The floating objects or dynamic
devices dispersed in the liquid in the transparent shade also
display an effect of dynamic reflection or variation of light,
thereby increasing a fun in using a computer.
[0007] To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and
the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief
description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed
description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention
comprises primarily a lamp seat 1, a transparent shade 2, and a
signal line 4, wherein a concave space 11 is at a top side of the
lamp seat 1, and a light and heat source 12 is located in the
concave space 11. The light and heat source 12 is connected to a
default personal computer with a plug 41 (can be in a USB
specification) via the signal line 4. A decoration shade 23 and a
concave part 21 are located at a bottom and a top side of the
transparent shade 2, respectively. Inside the transparent shade 2
is a sealed space which contains a transparent liquid 22.
[0016] The transparent shade 2 is latched on the concave space 11
of the lamp seat 1 upon assembling, so as to locate the light and
heat source 12 just below the concave part 21 of the transparent
shade 2. When the signal line 4, which is connected with the light
and heat source 12, connects to a personal computer with the plug
41, or the computer is receiving external data (such as receiving
an E-mail, downloading or copying data) or uploading data, the
light and heat source 12 can be driven via the signal line 4 to
emit and project a light into the transparent shade 2, and to
generate a heat to heat up the liquid 22 in the transparent shade 2
for starting a convection to the liquid 22 in the transparent shade
2.
[0017] Referring to FIG. 3, it shows a schematic view of a first
implementation of a transparent shade. Floating waxes 5 are
contained in the liquid 22 in the transparent shade 2. By using a
heat generated from the enlightening of the light source 12,
convection is created to the liquid 22 in the transparent shade 2,
and the waxes 5 are also floating accordingly, so as to display a
dynamic effect of transparency, and form a visual effect of gently
floating transparent objects in the transparent shade 2.
[0018] Referring to FIG. 4, it shows a schematic view of a second
implementation of a transparent shade. A plurality of reflective
spangles 6 is dispersed in the liquid 22 in the transparent shade
2. By using a heat generated from the enlightening of the light
source 12, convection is created to the liquid 22 in the
transparent shade 2, and the reflective spangles 6 are also
floating accordingly, so as to display a dynamic effect of
reflection, and form a visual effect of sparkling light dots in the
transparent shade 2.
[0019] Referring to FIG. 5, it shows a schematic view of a third
implementation of a transparent shade. A vertical transparent
spiral tube 3 is located in the transparent shade 2 with a lower
container 31 and an upper container 32 at a bottom and a top side
of the spiral tube 3. A proper amount of colored liquid 33 is
contained in the lower container 31 which is just located at a top
of the light source 12 after assembling. By using a heat generated
from the enlightening of the light source 12 to heat up the lower
container 31, the colored liquid 33 in the lower container 31 is
swollen and glided upward to the upper container 32 along the
transparent spiral tube 3. After turning off the light source 12
and cooling off, the colored liquid 33 can be glided down spirally
to the lower container 31 from the upper container 32, thereby
forming a visually changing effect of spirally rotating.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 6, it shows a schematic view of a fourth
implementation of a transparent shade. A bubbling device is located
at a bottom of the transparent shade 2 for sucking outside air into
the transparent shade 2. Therefore, the liquid 22 in the
transparent shade 2 is filled with bubbles 7, and another visual
effect of sparkling light dots can be formed in the transparent
shade 2 using a reflection and refraction effect of the bubbles 7
themselves.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 7, it shows a schematic view of a fifth
implementation of a transparent shade. In addition to install a
bubbling device at a bottom of the transparent shade 2 for sucking
outside air into the transparent shade 2 so as to fill bubbles 7
into the transparent shade 2, a plurality of floating reflective
spangles 6 is dispersed in the transparent shade 2 and is drifting
with a flow of the bubbles 7, in order to form a visual effect of
varying sparkling light dots in the transparent shade 2 using a
different reflection and refraction effect between the bubbles 7
and the reflective spangles 6.
[0022] It is of course to be understood that the embodiments
described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the
invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be
effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following
claims.
